About

This is the shop of Kyo Hayashiya, a tea house that began in 1753 in Kaga-Kanazawa (now Kanazawa, Ishikawa), located on the 12th floor of the main building of Shinjuku Takashimaya Times Square. With Uji matcha (powdered green tea) and roasted hojicha (roasted green tea) as the stars, you can enjoy the matcha parfait that originated at this shop about 50 years ago, high above Shinjuku.

— Where matcha parfait began

The signature is the matcha parfait, created at Kyo Hayashiya about 50 years ago. The cup layers matcha soft-serve, house-made shiratama (rice-flour dumplings), mochi, matcha jelly, and anko (sweet red bean paste), and is regarded as the prototype of the now widely known matcha parfait. Kyo Hayashiya is a tea house that began in 1753 in Kaga-Kanazawa. Selected Uji matcha and roasted hojicha have been the core of its products. The Shinjuku Takashimaya Times Square shop offers, besides the matcha parfait, a hojicha-flavored parfait, teas such as matcha, hojicha, and sencha, and Japanese sweets.

“Burnt Kinako — Pinnacle of Fragrance”

What I ordered: ◆ Burnt Kinako and Hojicha Jelly Ice Cream Tea Set Tea: <sencha> Imanishi's Sosou Green Tea 🍵 The in-store menu and the website both have allergen displays. https://kyo-hayashiya.jp/menu_shinjyuku/ In one word, it's an "upgraded sweets spot" ✨ I gave it ♡ ♡ for being better than expected. The kinako spreads a toasty aroma the moment you eat it, instantly different from regular kinako. The hojicha jelly also lets you feel the depth of the tea 🥄

“Slow Matcha Enjoyment 🍵”

Menu had allergy displays, so I ate in! Looking carefully, throughout the shop are signs saying "For those with allergies, please ask staff" ◎ For egg/dairy allergies, only the matcha warabi-mochi in the 2-pick set was OK. By the way, single-item warabi-mochi comes with ice cream, so no. When ordering, I asked if I had to order something other than the choose-your-own set warabi-mochi by telling them about allergy. They said 2 warabi-mochi is fine, so I ordered: ✔ 2-choose Set Matcha Warabi-mochi ✔ Yuzu Tea (set) ✔ Green Tea (single) Ordered for 2! Warabi-mochi was delicious~!! Good that when taking other customers' orders, staff was also asking "Any allergies?" ◎◎
